It's got quite a complex flavor depending on the type of bacon that you get. The hickory smoked bacon tastes smokey salty and delicious. Applewood, the wood of an apple tree, smoked bacon has a different smokey flavor to it and a bit sweeter, but still salty and delicious. And there is Maple syrup bacon, still smoked, but pretty much soaked in maple syrup then smoked. Nice sweet flavor with a yummy smoked flavor, and still salty and delicious. Basically, bacon makes everything taste better, and the only thing to make bacon taste better, is more bacon. It's like heaven in your mouth.
